Chanel Cruise 2017 Show Review

It’s the Chanel Cruise 2017 show. Yes, like the Catalina wine mixer, it’s the Chanel Cruise show. It’s travelled more than a goddamn circus and this year Chanel decided to debut the cruise 2017 collection in Havana, Cuba. Of course this isn’t just another resort collection fashion show just at an exceptionally cool (and controversial) location, this is Chanel goddamn it and the fabulous French fashion house doesn’t do things by halves: a sea of candy-coloured convertible old Cadillacs and Buicks served as transportation to the outside runway (it was in a street) and the show ended in a Cuban dance party. An ultra-luxury fashion house descending on a poor country and taking over the streets is a little controversial but in true Cuban fashion, the locals welcomed Karl and his krew by lining the streets and waving as the convoy moved past. Double CC treatment. #CocoCuba

Chanel Cruise 2017 Show

Now, onto the clothes. Yes, the collection was wearable and relaxed but I wasn’t really feeling it. I know, blasphemy, but it’s true. So imma quickly run through what specifically I wasn’t into and what I liked.

Not a fan:

Panama hats – um, I kind of hate them in general on girls so making them Chanel doesn’t make the whole situation better for me.

Tweed/woven skirts with side-fringing – I don’t know, I think it looks like you’ve wrapped a rug around you…

Yasssss:

Embellished sliders – I could definitely get used to the slider life especially with the layered Chanel chains. Yes.

Wide-collared shirts – power dressing chic, love.

Candy colours – very Havana, I love the colours throughout the collection mainly because it makes me want to eat them…did you see the lemon yellow? Yuuummm.

Chain jewellery – I’m always down for chain jewellery mainly because it’s ever so slightly ghetto and my inner ratchet twerks when I see them on the catwalk.

Flats – get rid of your espadrille wedges to parade around the pool in because you’re “so high fashion”, if Chanel says flats are the only summer shoe…flats are the only summer shoe. Rejoice.

I am loving the coral look with the ultra chic duffel bag (which will become the Rich Kid’s gym bag come next spring), cinched with the gold belt. I can get down with that.

Take note of:The beret a la Che Guevara which will be flying of those monochrome shelves and the socks and sandals creeping up on the catwalk, if you take anything away from this post know that that hat and those sandals will be huge come Resort season 2017. TRUSSS ME DADDI… (I hate myself)…

I defo agree with your choices here on whats hot and whats not!! I use to love brogues but I feel like they were out a long time ago and definitley a no no on the ladies! Also the tweed woven skirts really do look like rugs! Something I loved were the colours as you pointed out too, there is such a variety and they are all gorgeous tones! http://Www.mylifeinrosetintedglasses.wordpress.com
